Panel Bender - SC SHENCHONG

As the leading panel bender manufacturer in China, SC SHENCHONG always provide the best automatic bending solutions to customers around the world. Panel bender is a commonly used bending machine in the production of metal sheet metal workpieces. It refers to the process of fixing the metal sheet metal on a mechanical bending machine by setting bending curves on the sheet metal, and then applying pressure on the bending line according to the required bending angle to achieve the processing of the metal sheet metal.

It can be widely used in the fields of steel cabinet shells, kitchen utensils, furniture, ventilation, refrigeration, purification, door industry, decoration, elevators, and other related metal forming fields, suitable for bending different types of workpieces.

Panel bender is an effective metal forming machine to bend thin materials. The automatic panel bending center focuses on solving various complex sheet metal and bending problems in metal forming. In one process, it is possible to rapidly complete a complex part that requires very accurate radius forming, hemming, or offset bends. Compared with CNC press brake, the cnc panel bender is more efficient and labor-saving when bend the thin sheet plate.

SC SHENCHONG panel bender plate thickness range:

Aluminum plate: up to 3.5mm

Carbon steel: up to 2mm

Stainless steel: up to 1.5mm

Automatic Panel Bender Features

The bending speed is only 0.2 seconds per blade.
The machine can automatically perform up and down bending actions according to the
bending process to achieve combination bending of arcs, pressed edges, and various angles.

Adopt a C-type pressure arm structure.
Standard 10 axes: X, Y, C, V1, V2, Z1, Z2, W1, W2, P.
Off load detection system, off load follow-up system, and thick plate detection system can effectively protect the machine, protect the workpiece, and reduce workpiece production waste.

The intelligent flexible bending center adopts a universal bending mold and achieves various shapes of bending through multi axis concurrent linkage full servo control.
Compatible with various loading and unloading methods: manual loading and unloading, truss robot loading and unloading, mechanical robot arm loading and unloading are all optional choices.

Automatic Panel Bender Advantages

Speed: The fastest fully automated bending process in the intelligent flexible bending center can reach 0.2 seconds per tool, greatly reducing the cycle time of multi sided and multi pass bending, which is more than three times the speed of traditional CNC press brake. The more edges and more complex the workpiece, the greater the speed advantage.
Labor: The intelligent CNC panel benderhas low technical requirements for workers, and the bending process is completely automated, greatly saving labor and greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers.
Security: The flexible panel bender centerdoes not require manual holding of workpieces, and the bending process is completely automated, greatly reducing the safety hazards caused by worker misoperation.
Consistency: The panel bendercan achieve automatic positioning of the sheet metal, with a system positioning accuracy of 0.001mm. The formed products have higher consistency and are more suitable for mass production.
Automation: SC panel benderreserves rich interfaces for easy connection with upstream and downstream production lines. SC panel bending center can connect with robotic arm or loading unloading system for automatic integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose suction cup type panel bender or pressure arm type panel bender?

At present, there are two main feeding methods for bending centers. One is suction cup feeding, which uses a negative pressure pump to vacuum and adsorb the sheet metal. This requires a smooth and flat surface of the sheet metal to ensure that the workpiece will not be misaligned during feeding and rotation.

Another type is pressure arm feeding, which clamps the workpiece with two upper and lower claws. This method does not require a smooth and flat surface of the sheet metal, with pores, surface indentations, or more complex rows of workpieces. As long as there is a place for clamping, it is sufficient, but the suction cup type cannot be used. The pressure claw of the pressure arm is generally small and can adapt to smaller sized workpieces.

The suction cup type equipment has significant differences in structure and feeding principle compared to the pressure arm type, and also has significant differences in price. If the suction cup type equipment can meet the demand, then choosing a suction cup type bending center may also be a good choice.

Why it is still necessary to customize the bending center when it using a universal mold?

It’s because when our bottom folding knife folds the last edge upwards, the slope of the pressure knife will collide with our workpiece, so our last edge cannot be folded to 90 degrees. In this case, it is necessary to customize the upper pressing knife according to the process of the workpiece, and appropriately cut off the collision part, so as to achieve bending.

There are many types of customization for cutting tools, mainly based on the specific bending process of the workpiece. Cutting tools are independently developed and produced, so they can flexibly provide customized services for customers.

What is your panel bender price?

SC SHENCHONG panel bender price is depends on the machine model and the additional axes.
